Participants are invited to attend the Company’s annual Xtreme Research Award Lecture
Vancouver, B.C. – April 26, 2019 – Heidelberg Engineering, a privately-held company providing diagnostic solutions that empower eye care professionals to improve patient care, proudly announced that its multimodal imaging platform, SPECTRALIS, will be strongly represented at the 2019 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) conference, to be held April 28 – May 2 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The SPECTRALIS imaging platform, which offers high-resolution visualization of ocular structures and vasculature, plays an integral role in multiple clinical research studies being presented at ARVO.
Heidelberg Engineering encourages meeting attendees to experience the innovative applications of SPECTRALIS by attending relevant poster and paper presentations (partial list included below). Additionally, Heidelberg Engineering’s 2019 Xtreme Research Award lecture will be held at 7:30 PM Monday, April 29 at Pan Pacific Vancouver, 300-999 Canada Place. The recipients of this year’s award, Lydia Sauer, MD, and Chantal Dysli, MD, PhD, will present their compelling fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy (FLIO) research.

“Through our continual technological advancements and longstanding collaborations with innovators in the ophthalmic field, Heidelberg Engineering has exhibited its ongoing commitment to meaningful novelties and quality images. Accordingly, we are proud to play a large role in research being presented at ARVO 2019,” said Mr. Ali Tafreshi, Head of Product Management and Clinical Affairs. “We invite the ophthalmic community to learn more about our latest technology for both the anterior and posterior segments, on-site in Vancouver”.
Recent Innovations to Be Presented at Booth 1117
SPECTRALIS OCT Angiography Module
The OCTA Module for SPECTRALIS delivers high-resolution, non-invasive imaging of ocular vasculature. Combined with the precision of TruTrack Active Eye Tracking, the OCTA Module enables visualization of fine capillary networks in great detail.
SPECTRALIS High Magnification Module (HMM)
This new module, which consists of an innovative lens and software, elegantly demonstrates the capability of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) to resolve ocular microstructures by reducing intraocular light scattering. The detail seen in HMM images may provide novel insights into the pathogenesis and progression of ocular diseases.
ANTERION®*
Heidelberg Engineering has optimized the longer wavelength and lower sensitivity roll-off of swept-source OCT technology for imaging the anterior segment. ANTERION offers topography, tomography, anterior segment metrics and axial length in one upgradeable, modular device. The stunning swept-source OCT images empower clinicians with visual confirmation of the reliability and accuracy of the measurements.
*ANTERION is not cleared for sale in Canada or the United States.
